00:09:34,479 and 222 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,080 that's when it became surreal 223 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,920 because the dispatcher was talking about 224 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,360 snipers on

information 228 00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:53,680 that's being relayed in suburban 229 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,680 littleton 230 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,120 my secretary ran in the door was shut 231

241 00:10:18,958 --> 00:10:23,679 when i was staring down and i made 242 00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:24,879 contact it seemed like the size of a 243 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,799 cannon 244 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:28,720 all i kept thinking is what it was going 245 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:30,399 to feel like 246 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,639 to be shot 247 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:35,759 you know i thought of my family was i 248 00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:35,759 going to die quickly 249 00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:41,440 each time a bullet was fired from the 250 00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:44,078 gun then

00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,400 disputes like the incident with the 628 00:25:25,919 --> 00:25:30,320 broken windshield had put brown on 629 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,000 harris's hit list 630

639 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,479 doesn't forgive he was an injustice 640 00:25:49,278 --> 00:25:52,798 collector 641 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,519 dylan who was still friends with and had 642 00:25:52,798 --> 00:25:56,400 been lifelong friends with uh 643 00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:58,879 brooks 644 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,640 ward brooks uh to go to the website and 645 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,679 see what was going on 646 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,240 he was 647 00:26:01,679 --> 00:26:05,840 posting threats about uh wanting to kill 648 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,120 brooks and that's the thing we took to 649 00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:08,639 the police 650 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,079 and from when he started making the 651 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,240 death threats he wasn't allowed in our 652 00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:14,639 house anymore we knew that eric was 653 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,640 dangerous we did not know dylan when we 654 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,038 turned them into the police eric was 655 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,559 into pipe bombs and he was talking about 656 00:26:19,038 --> 00:26:22,480 it on his website 657 00:26:20,558 --> 00:26:25,759 it was actually a search warrant drawn 658 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,000 up um but then was never taken before a 659 00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:30,158 judge to search eric's house 660 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,519 um that was never followed up on because 661 00:26:30,159 --> 00:26:33,039 there was another series of murders in 662 00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:35,278 the town where the person investigating 663 00:26:33,038 --> 00:26:37,278 sort of went off that case for a while 664 00:26:35,278 --> 00:26:40,480 and never picked it up again 665 00:26:37,278 --> 00:26:42,798 yes but harrison klebold's plan involved 666 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,319 something much worse than homemade pipe 667 00:26:42,798 --> 00:26:47,038 bomb grenades 668 00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:50,158 as shawn graves still paralyzed and 669 00:26:47,038 --> 00:26:52,400 bleeding half inside the cafeteria door 670 00:26:50,159 --> 00:26:54,480 was about to experience i started 671 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,600 hearing the gunshots getting closer and 672 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,000 that's when i realized that they were 673 00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:59,839 coming down the stairs in the cafeteria 674 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,440 they just kept getting closer and closer 675 00:26:59,839 --> 00:27:04,720 and closer 676 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720 and i started hearing 677 00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:09,038 explosions 678 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,840 but every time there was a shot and then 679 00:27:09,038 --> 00:27:15,839 one of those larger 680 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,839 booms went off i flinched 681 00:27:16,798 --> 00:27:21,759 harris and klebold's killing spree had 682 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:24,320 not just been planned as a shooting 683 00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:26,158 before they had opened fire that morning 684 00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:28,558 they had placed two large explosive 685 00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:31,200 devices in the canteen 686 00:27:28,558 --> 00:27:32,319 they had been timed to explode at 11 17 687 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,240 am 688 00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:37,119 and the two students had planned to wait 689 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,798 outside to pick off any survivors 690 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,879 fleeing the scene 691 00:27:38,798 --> 00:27:43,038 eric harris had even gone so far as to 692 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,200 study how many people were in the 693 00:27:43,038 --> 00:27:47,599 cafeteria at any given time during the 694 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,319 lunch hour so he set those bombs to go 695 00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:52,558 off when he would have the mass casualty 696 00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:55,678 approximately 450 is what he was 697 00:27:52,558 --> 00:27:57,440 estimating and we had 455 kids down 698 00:27:55,679 --> 00:27:59,919 there 699 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,240 the bomb's timers had not worked which 700 00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:05,440 is why harris and klebold had begun 701 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,120 their killing spree with their guns 702 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,480 however they'd not given up on their 703 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,918 dream of blowing up the school 704 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,480 well i didn't know it at the time there 705 00:28:11,919 --> 00:28:16,960 was actually a propane 706 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,880 canister bomb essentially that was no 707 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,200 more than five feet from where i was 708 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:24,720 laying and they were shooting at it 709 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,720 trying to get the bomb to go off 710 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,839 their new attempts to detonate the bombs 711 00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:36,639 only succeeded in a relatively small 712 00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:38,720 partial explosion and fire 713 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:42,240 but they were a sign of a highly planned 714 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:45,360 premeditated suicide mission 715 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,679 these two students did not just snap in 716 00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:51,519 this case it was clear they began 717 00:28:47,679 --> 00:28:53,200 talking about doing something like this 718 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:56,639 just about 719 00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:00,720 a little over a year 720 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:03,240 before eric harris's first entry in his 721 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:06,159 journal in his notebook is april 10th 722 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,159 1998. the first words i read i think 723 00:29:06,159 --> 00:29:10,399 kind of set the tone and it was i i hate 724 00:29:08,159 --> 00:29:11,600 the effing world 725 00:29:10,398 --> 00:29:14,879 you know he's not talking about hitting 726 00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:16,959 jocks he's not talking about um you know 727 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:19,120 any kind of particular group later he 728 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,440 makes fun of just about everybody people 729 00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:23,199 who drive too slow in the fast lane 730 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,120 people who say a cross instead of a 731 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,399 cross or you know mispronounced words 732 00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:28,079 you know 733 00:29:26,398 --> 00:29:30,158 any trivial thing you know there's 734 00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:32,720 there's nothing too trivial for eric to 735 00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:36,000 have contempt for you 736 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,759 dylan also had a lot of writings 737 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,558 and notes that he left 738 00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:41,679 his centered arounds his emotions his 739 00:29:40,558 --> 00:29:43,839 feelings 740 00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:45,519 he clearly stated he was depressed he 741 00:29:43,839 --> 00:29:47,759 clearly stated that 742 00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:50,000 his his life was a mess 743 00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:52,158 dylan's journal went on for two years 744 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,200 and the very first page he talks about 745 00:29:52,159 --> 00:29:57,440 killing himself he had a miserable 746 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,519 perception of himself and often at 747 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,399 complete odds with reality 748 00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:04,480 he was in my mind a classic adolescent 749 00:30:02,398 --> 00:30:06,639 depressive or going through an 750 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,839 adolescent depressive episode when 751 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,600 confronted with some of his 752 00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:12,319 inappropriate behavior he would get 753 00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:15,119 extremely angry whereas when people 754 00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:16,480 confronted eric with some of his earlier 755 00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:18,719 misbehaviors 756 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,880 he would respond in a classic 757 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,880 psychopathic way he would tell you what 758 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,880 you wanted to hear promise never to do 759 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,440 it again and would be looking in the 760 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,000 eyes and deliberately telling you what 761 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:33,600 he thought you wanted to hear 762 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:38,480 harris had a personality disorder 763 00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:40,959 that made him uh lacking in empathy for 764 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:44,079 the suffering of victims 765 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:47,519 made him very manipulative and crafty 766 00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:50,319 you know he had a uncanny ability 767 00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:53,599 to present himself any way he wanted so 768 00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:56,480 he looked like a good guy to many people 769 00:30:53,599 --> 00:31:01,359 but actually he didn't have a conscience 770 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,360 or what sigmund freud called a superego 771 00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:06,640 brooks brown's mother experienced eric's 772 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,798 excuses when his father sent him around 773 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,640 to apologize for damaging her son's 774 00:31:08,798 --> 00:31:13,519 windscreen 775 00:31:10,640 -->

case 1027 00:41:07,358 --> 00:41:11,279 dylan had incredibly low self-esteem 1028 00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:14,400 needed somebody to validate him make him 1029 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:16,800 feel good about himself 1030 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,119 some consider bullying at the school to 1031 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,800 be the primary factor 1032 00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:22,640 once you hate the bullies and no one 1033 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,160 does anything to defend you 1034 00:41:22,639 --> 00:41:25,679 you hate the people in the class that 1035 00:41:24,159 --> 00:41:27,519 don't say anything you hate the teacher 1036 00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:29,838 that doesn't say anything you hate the 1037 00:41:27,519 --> 00:41:32,239 counselors that allow it to happen they 1038 00:41:29,838 --> 00:41:33,759 in in essence end up hating the school 1039 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,559 not just the bullies they hate the 1040 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:39,359 school and they want to kill the school 1041 00:41:36,559 --> 00:41:42,239 i think that they didn't see 1042 00:41:39,358 --> 00:41:44,880 that they had a lot going for them 1043 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,799 they became isolated and that isolation 1044 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,559 and then exposure to 1045 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,318 a lot of negative 1046 00:41:48,559 --> 00:41:52,559 influences in their life 1047 00:41:50,318 --> 00:41:54,159 that they chose to focus on 1048 00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:56,639 i think really took them towards a 1049 00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:58,960 darker and darker place 1050 00:41:56,639 --> 00:42:00,400 harris was the dominant person who 1051 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,400 inspired 1052 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:05,200 the columbine massacre 1053 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:08,960 and i think

00:42:17,838 able to kill lots of people uh with 1057 00:42:15,039 --> 00:42:19,920 moral impunity 1058 00:42:17,838 --> 00:42:21,440 for the columbine teachers 1059 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,440
